1 / 3Centenery square fountains
đ Birmingham, West Midlands
Centenary Square is Birmingham's main public square featuring the famous bull sculpture, fountains, and regular cultural events. Free entry, pram-friendly, and an ideal base for exploring the city centre.
Caught the train into Birmingham central from there it's a short walk up New st through Victoria Square where the flusey in the jacuzzi was in full flow round to Centenary Square just to see the Bull. This is amazing and has certainly put Birmingham on the map. Would definitely recommend a visit.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families wanting to experience Birmingham city centre energy, especially during events and seasonal programming. Children who enjoy open spaces, people-watching, and iconic photo opportunities will thrive here. Combine with a walk to the nearby BBC studios or Victoria Square fountains for a full morning out.

âThe City has made fantastic use of this square, particularly hosting the raging bull. Access is semi controlled by helpful stewardship. The square incorporates the mega store for Birmingham 2022 as well as the BBC studio.â
